"The PAK-FA is also reportedly a multi-role design. The internal weapons bays are larger than on F-22, but with less depth and may not be capable of carrying many of the weapons speculated."
"Various Kh-31 (AS-17 Krypton) family supersonic missiles seem plausible albeit on the large side, as do satellite guided bombs and KAB-500 series bombs. The weapons bays are about 5m long."
"The PAK-FA therefore has true 360 degree coverage. The PAK-FA has L-Band radars mounted in the wing leading edges. These have both passive and active emitting roles and are key to ‘seeing’ stealth aircraft such as the F-22. "
"The F-22’s stealth is generally optimized against X-band radars as that is what fighters generally use – L-Band is a much longer wavelength and can more easily detect stealth aircraft but is also less accurate -hence X-band radars are still used for routine intercept and virtually all fighters use X-Band."
"Unlike the F-22 the PAK-FA features an IRST optical/IR search and tracking system."
"This resulted in the decision to retrofit an IRST to the F-22. IRST is the best way to target stealth aircraft since regardless of the IR stealth claims made of the F-22, jet engines are fundamentally not conducive to IR invisibility."
"The trail of hot air behind the F-22 is the first thing the PAK-FA sees as far as 25km."
"The cockpits for both the Su-35 and PAK-FA Su-41 feature two very large multi-function-displays (MFDs) and a very wide Head-up-display (HUD)."
"The F-22 in contrast has 4 large and two small MFDs and a large HUD, but the PAK-FA’s two primary displays are much larger still and the HUD even bigger."
"The F-22 is exceptionally maneuverable, but comparatively less dogfight optimized compared to the PAK-FA which has 3D thrust vectoring and moving LERX."
"The PAK-FA is more manoeuvrable, but the F-22 may boasts speed-bleed/regain advantages."
"The F-22 has larger wing leading-edge flaps and larger tail planes."
"The PAK-FA’s tail fins are smaller but all-moving and the 3D TVC allows the engines to be used both laterally and horizontally unlike the F-22 which relies on massive tail fins for lateral stability and yaw control."
"The onboard computer uses artificial intelligence to help the pilot take decisions faster."
"The PAK FA’s speed limit is 2600 kph, the maximum non-afterburning speed – 2100 kph. The practical range – 4300 km. For comparison, F-22 Raptor’s speed limit makes up 2410 kph, the maximum non-afterburning speed – 1963 kph, and the practical range – 3219 km."
